Confederate cannon found in Georgia

This just in------------A man traveling down a Georgia road saw a cannon on the shoulder of a highway. The road crew had found a cannon and just left in laying along the shoulder of the road and when the man pulled over to investigate the Georgia DOT pulled behind him. The DOT officer ask him if he was going to take it to please do so and he did. The cannon had markings and was made in 1861 and appeared to have sat on a rail road car. The man was a heavy duty operator and also a gun smith. This story passed on to me by a friend of a friend. More information will come in the following days about the cannon.
